I don't like this nearly as much as the original 10 year. Some very weird notes on the nose have me wondering if this sample bottle is bad. Nose: Light sugars, vanilla, mango, apricot, and...a hint of wet dog. Why? Flavor: Tastes much nicer than it smells. Some darker caramelized sugars, creamy mouthfeel, toasted almonds. Finish: Medium length with some sweet barrel char, baking spices like clove and cinnamon, and a bit of black pepper spice. Very weird. I like the flavor and finish but the nose has a very off putting wet dog smell. Bad sample bottle?
